Well, it was said
On the day of my birth
The ghost of a dead man

Walked the earth
And my mama don't love me none
She hates everything my daddy done

He got killed on a steel mill line
Just like his daddy in a
Black coal mine


They say I'm the !@$( son
Of one bad mother$#&@in' line of blood

They say I'm the !@$( son
Of one bad mother$#&@in' line of blood


I got an uncle in a Jackson cell
Served 13 years
But he's still got 12

That's 25, baby
He killed his brother with a swingin' spade
Now he's six feet deep in a

Early grave
He got killed before his time
Just like his

Just like his daddy died

They say I'm the !@$( son

Of one bad mother$#&@in' line of blood
They say I'm the !@$( son
Of one bad mother$#&@in' line of blood


I can't catch a break
'Cause if I make one damn mistake

They're gonna hang me, hey, hey, hey
Half Detroit would sell their soul
To see me swingin' from a gallows pole

For somethin'
Somethin' my daddy done
Come on


Yo, it was said
On the day of my birth

That the ghost of a dead man
Walked the earth
All right

And my mama don't love me none
Because she knows
I'm my daddy's son


He got killed on a steel mill line
Just like his daddy

Just like his daddy died

They say I'm the !@$( son

Of one bad mother$#&@in' line of blood
They say I'm the !@$( son
Of one bad mother$#&@in' line of blood

Yeah, yeah, yeah
